Can we get rid of Congress, too?

Here's Mickey's argument for getting rid of federalism:

When things screw up, these days, we hold the president and the federal government responsible. It follows that the president and the federal government should have the power to stop things from screwing up.

I just don't understand these arguments. "Government will screw up, so to prevent that we need a government." Or, "Since some mistakes will be made, we need to eliminate all actors but one."

I guess, he believes that eliminating freedom and diversity creates such a high degree of quality that the change is justified. If so, somebody should explain the terms "robust" and "my ass" to him.
